2009 pontiac g8 gt speed limiter

Post by Evil8 »

Im having trouble removing the speed limiter, the car shuts down at 138mph, Ive tried several times but i cant seem to actually fix this. The car is still pulling hard up until that point and my only other current mods are a cold air intake and cat back exhaust. thanks

Give the attached file a shot, please let us know if this works. Speed limit set to 199mph, you should also press "yes" to reset the parameters when you install this as whatever you had changed is applied here already.

When/where do you ever get a chance to go over 138mph anyway?
